Had a chiro appointment today after my 10 hour day (the last one for a while). I didn't realize how badly my neck hurt until he adjusted it. Wow. The best word I can use to describe the noise that my neck made is "crackle." That plus some Biofreeze left me feeling pretty good. I had a headache because I had my headset on for 10 hours with only one bathroom break and one break to eat my apple (don't tell anybody, but I can eat most of my lunch while I'm actually on the phone...I know it's rude, but I'm hungry...nobody ever knows that I'm eating, though, so I'm pretty sure they aren't offended). Paul dropped me off at the gym after the chiro and I could only bring myself to do about 15 minutes on the elliptical. I ran home after that and was pretty much done for the day. So, maybe somebody can give me some input into this phenomenon: I am getting fat. Okay, fat is a stretch, but I'll explain. I'm not talking about getting heavier. I am getting heavier, but I recognize that at least some of that is due to the muscle gain from running consistently. No, I'm talking about how I am exercising more, and more regularly, than I ever have in my life and I am getting more and more fat all over my body (well, not my legs, they just have the regular amount of fat that I usually have). Why am I gaining fat when I should be losing fat? I'm not saying that I think I'm actually fat or that I need to lose weight. I'm just wondering if anybody can explain this to me.
